Guys, this was my point a few weeks ago, and the question I posed to the board. Did the board discuss it at the meeting, or is that part of the board meeting happening here? I think that there are several hairs worth splitting here. 1. Merging into a TLP is a possible outcome for a podling, even when the initial intention is to graduate independently. Even if we eliminate this as a starting intention, we should clarify how we expect this to happen. My prior email suggested a very low-overhead view of such events. 2. If an existing TLP wants to incorporate an existing non-Apache community, the incubator _might_ might serve a useful role. Or, not. I'm also perfectly happy to tell that TLP to make a branch and grant some commit access and vote status as appropriate as things proceed, which is how I'd restate your views. 3. We do have a group of people with some minimal, observed, willingness to pay some attention to IP clearance. Legal affairs, well, is more of a talking-shop. So I'd expect Sam to want some helpers before he'd accept this. > > -Bertrand > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
